Coronation Street’s Daisy Midgeley: Charlotte Jordan joins as Jenny’s stepdaughter

Charlotte Jordan has appeared in quite a few shows during her acting career

Coronation Street recently introduced character Daisy Midgeley, the former stepdaughter of Jenny Connor.

In Friday’s episodes (November 27) Jenny told husband Johnny that Daisy and her boyfriend Lee would be stopping by.

However their reunion was a disaster as Johnny told his wife he wanted a divorce. Their lunch ended up with Johnny being arrested for the robbery and hit and run he was involved in over 30 years ago.
